Do you love electronic music? Go to Tomorrowland. It happens
once a year (every summer in June or July) and it takes place in Belgium.
A lot of people go every year. Electronic music lovers of all ages go there
to experience the music with DJs and music producers. Each festival
has a different theme. For example, the 2018 theme was “The Story
of Planaxis”. What about the tickets and their price? This is the difficult
part: the tickets are sold out in minutes. The prices depend on the type
of ticket and the accommodation you choose. People spend between
98€ and 6000€. Yes, it’s very expensive! The performers are musicians
and DJs like David Guetta, Martin Solveig, Armin van Buuren, Steve
Angelo, Axwell Ingrosso, Dimitri Vegas, and others. Tomorrowland
is not only about music; it is an amazing theatrical production with
mind-blowing sets.
